Sui joins an exclusive list of AWS-integrated blockchains
Sui Foundation, the organization
dedicated to the advancement and adoption of the layer 1 blockchain
of the same name, today announced the integration of Amazon Web
Service’s (AWS) Blockchain Node Runners on Sui, providing
developers with a self-managed node deployment
solution.
Through this integration, builders on
Sui will be able to easily set up and deploy Sui full nodes within
the AWS environment, benefitting from the high availability,
scalability, and reliability of AWS’s robust cloud infrastructure.
AWS Blockchain Node Runners simplifies the process of running
blockchain nodes, allowing users to easily deploy, scale, manage,
and monitor secure blockchain nodes. As of today, Navi, a leading
liquidity protocol, will be engaged as a Node Runner user to deploy
full nodes on Sui.
Kathryn Van Nuys, Global Head of Startups in
Specialized Segments at AWS, said, “AWS
Blockchain Node Runners was designed to support builders at all
stages of the application lifecycle, offering blueprints to meet
specific requirements, from enhanced security and compliance to
ease of deployment and monitoring. We are excited to bring these
and other features to empower developers to deploy and manage Sui
nodes on the AWS cloud.”
Node Runners offers several key
technical advantages for deploying blockchain nodes. It provides
validated, best-practice deployment templates for scalable node
operations across multiple geographies. High availability is
ensured through multi-node deployment options across different
availability zones. The deployment code is fully open-source and
available on GitHub, allowing users to review it before deployment.
Integrated with the AWS Well-Architected Framework, Node Runners
helps organizations build secure, high-performing, resilient, and
efficient node infrastructures. Full nodes on Sui validate on-chain
activities such as transactions, checkpoints, and epoch changes, as
well as store the stake and history to better service client
queries. By offloading query servicing from validator nodes,
validators are able to focus on transaction processing and updates
to the nodes when new transactions are completed.
Navi, a leading liquidity on Sui, is
one of the first users to engage with Node Runners on Sui,
and have deployed their first node via AWS’s service as of
today.
As part of AWS and Sui Foundation’s
commitment to empowering Sui builders, developers and startups who
utilize AWS Blockchain Node Runners or are building on Sui may be
eligible for up to $5,000 in Activate credits. Sui Foundation has
also joined the AWS Web3 Provider program,
which offers access to tools, resources, content, and credits to
Sui developers
Henrik Johansson, Global Head of Community at
Sui Foundation, said, “The integration of AWS Node Runners
on Sui marks a pivotal advancement to enhancing blockchain
infrastructure. Sui nodes are fundamental to the operation and
accessibility of Sui. This integration with AWS not only
provides developers with more tools to simplify node deployment but
also financial support to utilize and develop on AWS.”
